Adobe Bridge extremely slow and not letting my use Nvidia Driver, please help?

I am currently using Bridge v 14.1.0.257 and it is very slow to load and generate thumbnails for my Nikon z9 and z8 RAW files. Also, the program is only accessing my on board Intel UHD GPU and not my Nvidia RTX 3060.

 

The process is so slow that the program is freezing up and sometimes Blue screening the PC. I'm useing a 11th gen intel i7  -11800 @ 2.30GHz.

 

Need some suggestions of where to go from here to help speed up Adobe Bridge and get it to load these thumbnail files faster with out crashing.

 

Thank you

Mark

You can specify the preferred graphics processor to use from the NVIDIA Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Preferred graphics processor setting.

You can also disable the onboard or integrated graphics using Windows Device Manager. (Can be easily accessed by pressing Windows Key + R and typing devmgmt.msc ) You will find it under Display adaptors.

Thank you. I attempt to disable able the intel GPU before in device manager and that didn't help at all.

 

I'll just switched around a few things in the NVIDIA control panel. Let's see if that helps.

 

So why does Bridge run so slowly and why doesn't it use more of the GPU processing power???

Bridge doesn't use much GPU power, Photoshop uses plenty for certain functions whereas Camera Raw will no longer function without it. 

Here is some information:-
